Trash Cat uses their music to ride a see-saw between tender-heartedness and absurdity inspired by their favorite cartoons and pop culture. They are a quirky combo personally and instrumentally, consisting of Mary Claxton on electric ukulele, Hayden Farr on baritone saxophone, and Brian Claxton on drums. Trash Cat loves to make their audiences dance, smile, and hug their inner child. Formed in 2018, Trash Cat has played for a variety of venues such as Indie 102.3, O’Dell Brewing, Greeley Friday Fest, and the Flying V Sessions at Wolverine Farms.

Tonguebyte is a 5-piece Saxophone Rock group based in Fort Collins, Colorado who blend the genres of Punk, Jazz, RnB and Alternative Rock to create a compelling sound that grips the listener’s ear. This, accompanied with the poetic lyrics written by Guitarist/Vocalist JJ Maestas, and rhythmic and melodic complexities of Benjamin Eberle's bass playing deliver an exciting new sound that anyone could get down to!

Every member of To Be Astronauts is a transplant to the state, but the comment we seem to get most consistenly about our music is it sounds "distinctly Colorado." The connective tissue that holds this alt-indie-heavy-classic punk rock band together so well is our appreciation for the state, so it makes sense that would come across in our music. Influenced by bands like Nirvana, Fugazi, and Black Sabbath, To Be Astronauts started as a cover band paying homage to those groups, and slowly morphed into mature songwriters crafting loud, bouncy, catchy music.

Tiny Tomboy combines distorted guitar with dreamy textures and witty lyrics. The indie rock three-piece consists of drummer Sam Seymour, bassist Ethan Gould, and the Tiny Tomboy herself, singer and guitarist Eliza Neiman-Golden, who stands at a whopping 4'10" and shreds unapologetically. Based in Denver, the band is known for breaking floors and forming human pyramids at their energetic shows. Their sophomore LP, Psychic Scar, was awarded “Best Indie-Rock Album” of 2025 by Denver’s Westword, who lauded the band’s “open-a-vein-and-bleed approach to writing.”

The Widow's Bane has been terrifying and mesmerizing American music lovers for the last 200 years or so, since their boat crashed on these shores in the 18th century. Nowadays, the band calls Boulder home, and most recently headlined Washington's in Fort Collins a few months ago, on Halloween.

The Warthogs is a Fort-Collins-grown psych-garage band. Their energy is infectious, their music is loud and hooky and their wardrobe is monochromatic. "The Hogs" as they are known by some, began with three acoustic guitars in a frigid Fort Collins garage, which became known as "Hog Den." In late 2021, founding members Beau Baker, Nico Matallana and Gabe Allen brought in fiddle player Hope Radford and percussionist Brian Tremper to fully-realise their sound. The Warthog's music can really only be described as enviro-love-punk.
